Chapter 462: 462
But all Shen Liangchuan could think about was yesterday .
It was obvious that she had been behaving oddly .
He couldn’t explain why he was feeling so anxious .
Without saying another word, he hung up the phone and went into Weibo . As he was about to post a message, he suddenly saw a small figure beneath the lamp post on the street leading to villa 18 .
Shen Liangchuan’s hand froze and he placed his cell phone down .
Quickly, he opened the driver seat door and got out of the car, taking brisk strides towards the figure .
As he approached her, he realized it was indeed Qiao Lian squatting by the roadside .
She had curled up in a tiny ball, hugging her knees and staring blankly ahead . Her eyes were swollen and red from crying .
Shen Liangchuan felt an unexplainable pain in his heart as he looked at her .
Just before this, he had been feeling at a loss as to how he could continue to face her after Song Yuanxi’s matter . Things had been awkward between them, but right now all these were pushed to the back of his mind .
At this moment, his heart and mind were solely focused on her present state .
Standing next to her, he bent his knees and lowered his tall frame slowly, calling out gently, “Xiao Qiao . ”
When she heard his voice, she turned gingerly to look at him .
Her eyes, that were dry from crying, now started to well up in tears again when she saw him, like a distraught child seeing her own parent .
She harshly bit her lip and, unsure if it was from the cold or from the overwhelming emotions, she started trembling .
Seeing this, Shen Liangchuan quickly took off his own jacket without saying a word and following that, he bent over to scoop her up in his arms .
Ignoring his car behind him, he walked briskly towards their villa .
Entering the villa still as he carried Qiao Lian in his arms, he headed up to the master bedroom . With a fluid motion, he opened the blanket and wrapped it around her .
Then he turned and walked out of the room .
Slowly, her freezing body warmed up .
Her mind began to clear .
She looked towards the room door, and the sharp and deep pain in her heart returned .
She clutched tightly onto the blanket and drew her knees towards herself .
An infinite expanse of loneliness engulfed her .
At this point, the door creaked as it slowly swung open . She looked up and saw Shen Liangchuan entering the room with a basin .
He picked up the towel and soaked it in the hot water, then he walked over to her . Without speaking, he gently patted her face with the hot towel .
The steam from the hot towel seeped into her pores and somehow warmed up the iciness deep inside her .
He removed the towel .
Her red and swollen eyes were squinted, turned into two slits from the crying, distorting her pretty features .
Qiao Lian sat there, not moving, letting him take care of her .
After a short time, he brought in a glass of sweetened water and placed it in front of her .
Qiao Lian drank it obediently .
The hot drink made its way into her stomach and slowly, the heat from the drink warmed her limbs .
Then he lifted the blanket .
She felt his hand encircle her ankle, holding it firmly as he removed her shoe, then, the other shoe . He tucked her icy feet into his abdomen to warm them up .
He turned around, reached for her hands and held them, using his own as a source of heat .
Qiao Lian watched him as he carried out each of these actions gently and meticulously .
She felt her red and swollen eyes tearing up again .
Suddenly, he extended his arm and drew her into his embrace .
All the frustration and anxiety that had plagued him as he had desperately looked for her earlier on had now disappeared . All that was left were tender words that were at the same time full of dangerous fury . “Xiao Qiao, now you can tell me who upset you?”
